The End of Fun
FUN® is cool, but it's also frustrating, addictive, and glitchy AF. Just when everyone's getting on the latest system in augmented reality, Aaron wants off. But first he's got some business to attend to. His grandfather has died, leaving behind an inheritance and a set of mysterious clues. As Aaron attempts to unravel the puzzle, he deals with love, loss, heartbreak, dog bites, community theater, wild horses and the fact that some things—a lot of things—are beyond words.
reviews
"Reminiscent of M. T. Anderson’s Feed (2002)—with a touch of John Green’s Paper Towns (2008)—this is wildly funny, bittersweet, and wholly original. Moreover, it’s perfectly pitched to a teen audience that has grown up being targeted by media in increasingly specific and sophisticated ways, is intimately familiar with virtual friends (and enemies), and knows firsthand what it’s like to be addicted to a device."

"The End of FUN is so fresh, so smart, and so chock-damn-full of heart, I couldn’t bear when it was over. Nope. I flipped right back to the beginning. I do believe I found a soul mate."
